DispatchLive reports that in a bid to make up for perilous manpower shortages, acting national police commissioner General Khomotso Phahlane has urged members of the public in good standing and with no criminal records to join the SA Police Service (SAPS) as reservists.
Interested members of the public can visit their nearest police station to apply. The SAPS will target employed candidates, as it does not want to create false hope of permanent employment among unemployed people. Applications from journalists, political activists, soldiers, bouncers, taxi drivers, private investigators and liquor traders will not be considered. Volunteer reservists will work at least 16 days a month and do a minimum of two hours’ work a day. Successful candidates will also be provided with training in line with their new roles.
